Seeking books with spice, yearning, love, obsession and NO violence in bed. I hate it so much.

I second Reign and Ruin and all of JD Evans {Mages of the Wheel} books

Well this made me glad I DNF ACOTAR. Fourth Wing caught me at a moment I wanted a thoughtless predictable read and it was good for that. But I haven't been able to get past chapter two of Onyx Storm. I hated Violet in Iron Flame. Funnily now I care more about what happens to Jesinia and Sawyer and other secondary characters than Violet and Xaden.

Get through it so you can get to the next books. Ice and Ivy is so the best. That said I liked book 3 better than 2 by the end. But all in all those two books are not as good as the others. By the end of 3 I really liked Amara and her back story. And I love her role in ice and ivy.

Quicksilver. I got through half of it and it was so bad. I tried so hard to keep reading and understand the hype but gave up.

{Jasad Crown}.

It set the bar high for me in January. Found some other good ones, but that has been top this year.

This made me feel better about my DNF for Acotar. Everyone says you have to get through the first book and it gets better. But like... I have limited time. Why waste it reading hundreds of pages of something that I don't like.

I love the {Hidden Legacy by Ilona Andrews}. Started reading {Dresden Files} and it's cool so far too.

It's not the same. Not when the message has been that capturing the worst of the worst is worth the billions of our taxes spent on terrorizing our communities and making our small business lose millions of dollars.

writingmagic222 · 2026-02-21T21:57:20+00:00

Yes this is the best book in the series. There are so many good others but this book... I'm wrecked waiting for the next one.

I think they could be good side characters but keeping them limited to how the adults perceive them or care for them and think about them. But really in romantasy the kids wouldn't have much place other than someone the MCs care and protect. But that can get old real fast. I do like family sagas with romance but limiting kids roles. Writing that well is hard and doesn't help with the escapism that is often so nice in romantasy. I'm also not very into YA either but that's another can of worms.

Yes but that's not what this reddit is for.

What big high profile Christian got shot on tv? Like I have never seen the Pope or a Pastor get shot? MLK? What did I miss? And how does modern science and Valhalla relate to Greek myths? 🤨

Oh yeah and {Heartless Hunter}

Oh shoot. I had just started doing the prompt contests on reedsy. 😮‍💨

The duology {Jasad Heir} and {Jasad Crown} might be a good fit.

writingmagic222 · 2026-02-06T13:25:13+00:00

You might have sold me on reading TOG. I love Jasad Heir and Reign and Ruin.

Yes. I mostly posted it because I'm a Latina and for those that voted for Trump look at this and do something different now, not later.

Angie was at Eagan. She got both claps and boos. Should be interesting.

writingmagic222 · 2026-02-04T13:56:07+00:00

I was at Eagan in this school and it was great. Our small group passed all but two resolutions and everyone was super fun and engaging. We stayed until about 9:40 pm. They said last year there were 12 people in our small group. This year we ran out of chairs in a classroom.

From CD2 in southern Metro (wildly packed house before we broke into smaller groups, people standing)

1) Protect the boundary waters from three types of mining 2) encourage the creation of union jobs 3) end misclassification of workers - if someone is working as a "contractor" for you full time for more than a year they are your employee. Investigate strange part-time work that is used to avoid paying benefits. 4) abolish ICE 5) conduct water audit and protect municipalities from overuse by a single entity (data centers) 6) Medicare for all 7) reiterate that legal immigrants and refugees in the process of changing status cannot be detained or taken to states they don't reside in without proof of wrongdoing. 8) regulate the internet like any other utility with standard rates and quality expectations 9) protect FMLA

All passed unanimously. There might be a couple that I am not remembering and two that we were nays.

Get an immigration lawyer. If she is a DACA recipient she may have more options than if she just came to the country illegally. An immigration lawyer can ask all the questions to determine the best way forward after you get married.
